A grounded guide to intuitive leadership, clarity, and conscious decision-making.
The Leader Within is about reconnecting with the quiet, intelligent guidance that already lives within you — and learning how to trust it in real-world leadership, business, and life.
This book offers a practical and reflective approach to intuition, showing how inner awareness, embodied intelligence, and ethical leadership can coexist with responsibility, strategy, and impact.
Rather than asking you to become someone new, The Leader Within supports you to lead from who you already are — with clarity, steadiness, and integrity.


This book is for women who:
feel called to lead in a more conscious, humane way
want to trust their intuition without abandoning logic or responsibility
sense there’s more alignment possible in how they work and lead
value compassion, clarity, and ethical influence
It’s especially resonant for professionals, leaders, and creatives who know that success without alignment eventually feels hollow — and that leadership begins internally.

Through the Ascension Leadership Model, The Leader Within guides you to:
feel called to lead in a more conscious, humane way
want to trust their intuition without abandoning logic or responsibility
sense there’s more alignment possible in how they work and lead
value compassion, clarity, and ethical influence
The focus is not on quick fixes, but on developing an inner process you can rely on.
“The magic of Courtney’s work is that it benefits all areas of your life and positively influences those around you.”
— Dr Sue Morter
The book received an International e-Literature Award, recognising its contribution to conscious leadership and personal development.
This book was written for women who know there is another way to lead — one that doesn’t rely on burnout, over-efforting, or self-abandonment.
It’s an invitation to return to clarity, trust your inner authority, and lead from alignment rather than pressure.
